SARAH PALIN SHOW Likely Headed To Discovery Or A&E!!

I am – Hercules!!
More televised Sarah Palin is on the way! Palin’s trip to blue-state Los Angeles is yielding big bucks for the former red-state governor. While the broadcast networks (even Fox) passed on the show she’s mounting with “Survivor”/”Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett, it’s apparently finding some traction with basic cable. Variety reports A&E and Discovery are among those bidding on the project, and “a decision could be made in the next day or two.” Reports indicate the series would follow Palin, who last summer made headlines accusing David Letterman of joking about raping her 14-year-old daughter, and her family as they explore the state Palin governed for 18 months. Presumably the new show would follow a more sanitized version of the Palin clan than the one recently described by almost son-in-law Levi Johnston or E! As Variety points out, A&E sister History channel has found success with the Alaska-based “Ice Road Truckers” while Discovery has done the same with Alaska-based “The Deadliest Catch.” The paper suggests the show would cost the channels about a million dollars per episode, a big step up from $125,000 per year Palin was earning as Alaska governor. Variety also speculates that Burnett hopes to eventually launch Palin in her own daytime talk show. Find all of Variety's story on the matter here.
